A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I am hoping to share my passion for making hand made greeting cards.
So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce always carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it!
Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce.
I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

LOVE IS A FLOWER

Hi Everyone

Sorry I didn't get to share anything with you yesterday .. .. it is a busy old House of Hearts at the moment.

But so I don't let you down again today here is a little project I have just finished ready for The Festival tomorrow. Woo hoo!! Another special weekend with my lovely Sis is nearly here (more about my Sis in a bit).

For now here is my share .. .. and if you can't find the heart I am going to be "VERY" worried LOL!!

I am quite pleased with how this has turned out so am contemplating making just one more .. .. then if I don't sell them there will be one for my lovely Sis and one for me.

So now round to my lovely Sis.

You might remember that I mentioned her new website earlier this week. Well there were problems with her server the day it was all due to be finalised .. .. but at midnight last night I got a message to say it was now live, up and running. Woo hoo Joey .. .. I love it!! xx

If you fancy a little look at the lovely fabby creations my Sis has been making then her website link is always at the top of my sidebar .. . but today it is here too in celebration of her hard work. Just click on her fabby artwork below.

It would be lovely if you had time to have a little look and leave her some feedback here. I think she is attaching a blog to the website later .. .. .. we will have to wait and see .. .. but for now I am just mega excited for her and very proud to call her my Sis.

She lives in an old Chapel that has been split into a number of separate little homes .. .. and Joey has the original chapel doors as her entrance (which you can just about see in some of her pictures) .. .. her front door key is humongous and very heavy!!!

I'll try to give you an up-date as to how the weekend is going with a few pictures.

Have a good one everyone. I hope the sun shines for you and you manage to find a bit of crafty time!

Hi Jules! This is such a cleaver idea to make a heart with all these pretty little flowers!I had a look at your sisters site too but didn't know how to leave a comment. So pls tell her from me that her web site is great and I love her bags especially the messenger bags!Pearl x

Oh Jules, that is gorgeous!!! Had to read the description to figure out how you made it!! It almost looked like the heart was cut from paper and then ribbon twirled around and secured by the brads! Very lovely!!!

Ooooo, I love your flower heart! And the saying rocks too!! =D And I popped over to your sister's blog. If money grew on trees in my backyard, I would totally buy every one of her fabulous purses!!! Really gorgeous and so well made!

Absolutely beautiful Jules & I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding buyers. A brilliant idea, simple but so effective. I nipped over to your sisters site & was very impressed with her work. I hope you do well at the festival.Sally x

A beautiful creation ... it must have taken forever to punch out all those cute little blossoms but it was well worth the effort. I will certainly pop over and visit your sister's website. How cool to live in a chapel. Good luck at the Festival - I hope you sell everything and return home with a very nice profit for your enterprise - both of you :) Elizabeth xx

Love the card Jules - very designer... Peeked in at your sisters site - the bags are gorgeous but I couldn't figure out how to leave a message!!!I'm sure you will both 'go down a storm' at the Festival this weekend.HugsHeatherx

I am always so inspired by your creations, Jules, and I am very inspired by this one. It has given me an idea which I hope to remember to have a play with at a later date! Lovely work! And I'm off to visit your sis now. Hugs, Lesley

Just had to let you know that I ordered the black & white penny bag on your sister's site on Friday 14 September and have just taken delivery of it this morning Monday 17th September, what great service.It is absolutely fabulous, excellent value for money and beautifully stitched. Very professional bag, would recommend her to anybody. Hope she does well.I must also say I love your blog, beautiful creative work, I look forward to finding the hearts. keep up the good work
